ummm around, with, without, aligned, together and so on…... those words depend on the perspective where you stand, where you look at.

Is the earth orbiting the sun? YES.
Is the earth moving all the time through the SAME orbit like a clock? NO.

The earth will never come back to this point in orbit where it is now. Because sun moves around galaxy center, Earth moves along. Galaxy moves around the galaxy clouds and so on.

But in any way…. if it moves in circle or if it moves in a spiral it depends on the point of view. If you stand on the sun and look at earth yes it moves around in same path all the time. If you stand in the center of galaxy, then no the earth doesn’t spin around sun it spins around the center of galaxy in a spiral.

I thought this was going to be about Geocentricity vs Heliocentricity.
It still seems to suggest that the earth revolves around the sun albeit in a spiral.
And no, the world will not end on 21.12.12, does anyone remember the y2K scare 12 years ago?

Yep everyone went batshit crazy for no reason. Why don’t people learn?!
